1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objectives: For effective tuberculosis (TB) control, early detection of active TB and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI), especially among contacts of infected patients, are essential. This study aimed to analyze the 2024 contact investigation results to provide foundational data for TB elimination strategies. Methods: This study analyzed household contact data from the Tuberculosis Investigation Form and congregate setting data from the Tuberculosis Notification Reporting Form registered in the National Tuberculosis Integrated Information System in 2024. The analysis included contacts, secondary TB cases, and LTBI. The distributions were examined by year, age, and the type of congregate facility. Results: In 2024, a total of 105,989 contacts were investigated in 16,220 households and 3,470 congregate facilities, resulting in the early detection of 250 additional TB cases (235.9/10 Conclusions: The 2024 contact investigation confirmed that older contacts showed higher rates of TB incidence and LTBI but a lower treatment initiation rate. These trends were also observed in 2023. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency promotes screening and treatment for high-risk groups, with LTBI treatment guided by risk-benefit assessments, strengthened education, and public awareness.
